And how do we move forward? In the documentary, Gloria offers the following advice to young women. “Listen to the voice inside you and follow that,” she says, adding “The primary thing is not that they know who I am, but that they know who they are.”

I’m sure her interview with Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report tonight won’t be quite so sentimental, but I’m sure it’ll be just as relevant. You can see her previous appearance here, and I’ll add a link to the interview on Hulu when it’s posted on Fridayhere’s the link to Thursday’s clip.

I have nothing but respect for Gloria Steinem. At 77, she’s tackled issues that seemed insurmountable to others. She’s tackled every hurdle thrown her way with intelligence and grace. The Feminist Kitchen probably wouldn’t exist without her. So, thanks, Gloria.
